DONETSK, Ukraine (Reuters) - The new governor of the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk on Friday said Russians were behind violent clashes between rival demonstrators in which one man was killed, and accused Moscow of distorting the truth in its account of what happened.

Dmitriy Chernyavskiy, 22, was stabbed to death in Donetsk, the heartland of Ukraine's Russian-speaking coalfields, after pro-Russian protesters clashed with others favouring European integration and denouncing Russia's incursion into Crimea.
